## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Website Contact Extractor

An [Apify Actor](https://apify.com/actors) that crawls websites and extracts contact information including email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profile links.

Built with [Crawlee](https://crawlee.dev/) and [Cheerio](https://cheerio.js.org/) for fast, lightweight HTML parsing.

### Features

- **Email extraction** — Finds email addresses in page text and `mailto:` links, with filtering for common false positives (image/asset file extensions).
- **Phone number extraction** — Detects Indian phone numbers (`+91` format) and international numbers via `tel:` links and regex patterns.
- **Social media links** — Extracts profile URLs from Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
- **Smart crawling** — Follows same-domain links to discover contact pages, about pages, and footers automatically.
- **Proxy support** — Rotates IP addresses via Apify Proxy to avoid blocking.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | *required* | List of website URLs to crawl |
| `maxPages` | integer | `10` | Maximum number of pages to crawl per run |
| `extractEmails` | boolean | `true` | Extract email addresses |
| `extractPhones` | boolean | `true` | Extract phone numbers |
| `extractSocials` | boolean | `true` | Extract social media links |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example.com" }],
    "maxPages": 20,
    "extractEmails": true,
    "extractPhones": true,
    "extractSocials": true
}
````

### Output

Each result in the dataset represents a page where contacts were found:

```json
{
    "url": "https://example.com/contact",
    "title": "Contact Us - Example",
    "emails": ["info@example.com", "support@example.com"],
    "phones": ["+911234567890", "+14155551234"],
    "socialLinks": [
        "https://facebook.com/example",
        "https://twitter.com/example",
        "https://linkedin.com/company/example"
    ]
}
```

Only pages with at least one contact item are saved to keep the dataset clean.

### Usage

#### Run locally

```bash
apify run -p
```

#### Deploy to Apify

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

#### Use via API

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<YOUR_ACTOR_ID>/runs" \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
    -d '{
        "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example.com" }],
        "maxPages": 10
    }'
```

### Regex Patterns

| Type | Pattern |
|------|---------|
| Emails | `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}` |
| Indian phones | `(\+91[\-\s]?)?[0]?(91)?[789]\d{9}` |
| International phones | `\+?[\d\s\-\(\)]{10,}` |
